Story
Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

Story
🚨 URGENT — PENELOPE IS EMACIATED & WILL BE EUTHANIZED WITHOUT HELP 🚨 This neglected girl has survived so much… she should NOT die in a shelter. Meet Penelope, a heartbreakingly thin stray who came in severely neglected. Her ribs show, her nails are painfully overgrown, and her body tells the story of someone who has been ignored for far too long. Despite everything done to her, Penelope still greets the world with softness. Here’s who she truly is: 💔 Emaciated and neglected — she needs care, food, and love 🐾 Walks GREAT on leash 🐶 Loves other dogs 🫶 Calm, gentle, and incredibly sweet 🍖 Takes treats so softly you can barely feel it 💗 Still trusts humans, even after being failed Penelope is the kind of dog who breaks your heart and heals it at the same time. She is quiet, patient, and grateful for every little bit of kindness — and now she is at risk of being euthanized simply because she needs help the shelter cannot provide. This girl deserves bed, not a body bag. She deserves healing hands, not a needle. Please don’t scroll past her. She is running out of time, and she has never needed a hero more than she does right now. PLEASE HELP THIS BEAUTIFUL SWEET GIRL ‼️ TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
This precious girl Oakley found herself at an overcrowded shelter in the south and urgently needs a family to take her in. She had apparently been hit by a car prior to being taken to the shelter and her front leg was broken. Our rescue took her to a vet to evaluate her leg and they indicated her leg bone was already healing so they recommended a cast for about 4 more weeks. Oakley is just over a year old, is very happy and adores people. She weighs approximately 50 lbs and is fully vaccinated. Oakley is able to walk around just fine and she can go on short walks until her cast is removed. We recommend a family that can be home alot with Oakley as she really likes being with her people and doesn't love being alone for long periods of time. If interested in this precious girl, please text Julie on 919 624 0059.

🚨 URGENT — JACKSON IS OUT OF TIME! 🚨 This beautiful brindle boy needs a HERO now. Jackson came into the shelter as a stray, and despite everything he’s been through, he remains gentle, polite, and eager for attention. He is a Shepherd/Plott Hound–type mix, absolutely stunning in person, and has the sweetest, softest eyes. ❤️ What we know about Jackson: • Dog-friendly • Walks nicely on leash • Sweet, calm, and very people-oriented • Gorgeous brindle coat with the cutest expressive ears • Wants nothing more than love and safety 💔 Why he’s urgent: The shelter is over capacity and Jackson has no time left. He is at risk simply because the shelter is out of space, not because of anything he did. 🆘 Jackson deserves a chance. Please don’t let him die scared and alone. He is a GOOD dog who will make someone an amazing companion. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152
